Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And thank you for joining us today for this public  meeting of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Government in the Sunshine Act.

First, the Commission will consider whether to issue a release proposing rule amendments expanding the circumstances under which a registered investment adviser may receive performance-based compensation.  Second, we will consider whether to issue a release proposing amendments to the rule that allows regulated closed-end funds to make repurchase offers to shareholders at net asset value at periodic intervals.  Finally, we will consider whether to issue five notices that the Commission is considering regarding whether to designate by order certain certifications, designations, or credentials as qualifying natural persons for accredited investor status.
